The Eighth Defense Line of the Interstellar Space Station--
A red-skinned devil wreathed in blazing energy flames appeared. Energy beams kept striking its body, but once they passed through the flames, their power rapidly diminished. Damage that had originally exceeded ten thousand instantly dropped to a mere hundred points.
Then, a flash of blade-light flickered in the red-skinned monster's hand. A red line over a hundred meters long flashed past, slicing many players in half wherever it passed and turning them into white light invisible to the naked eye.
"Quickly, quickly, fire!"
Several tech players immediately activated partial transformation. The mechanical augmentations on their arms unfolded layer by layer as dense energy began gathering toward their opponent.
However, the red-skinned monster merely glanced at them and grabbed through the air. The next moment, several energy sources surrounding it exploded.
Before the players could finish holding back their big attacks, they were killed by the very attacks they had been charging.
At the Tenth Defense Line, meanwhile, plant lifeforms that constantly stretched out their branches and leaves expanded wildly. Each one reached a size of a thousand meters, and that was far from their limit. During carbon-based fusion, plant cells did not erupt with strength, but with vitality—and that vitality did not even belong to themselves. It belonged to others.
For example, the players attacking them soon developed countless visible flesh-and-blood vines across their bodies. The vines pierced through bone and skin, and the protruding tendrils seemed to have been "grafted," directly connecting to the trees.
Under this operation, the players' health actually became the opponents' health, making their already enormous health bars grow another great deal.
Quite a few A+-rank "great trees" were stimulated and actually advanced to S-rank on the battlefield.
"So... it was this... little thing."
